ONTARIO: Restaurant inspections now served on the web - (The Daily Press)
January 26, 2008 – 4:29 pmThe Porcupine Health Unit in Timmins, Ontario, was cited as unveiling its new restaurant inspection website at the beginning of this month and has listed restaurants and stores from the region that failed inspections.
Manager of Public Health Inspection Bob Bell was cited as saying the website shouldn’t be used as a way of rating a restaurant because generally the infractions are fixed within 24 hours, adding, “Public health inspectors are required to examine each restaurant a minimum of three times per year.”
Depending on the situation the inspector can write a ticket or lay a charge on the spot.
